Block Captain on 72nd Street saw two 104th police cars on corner 72nd St/53rd Av at about 6:30 am on Sunday, 10/21. She spoke with complainant who said her vehicle was parked in front of 2nd house from the corner, noticed lug nuts loosened on all wheels and saw cinder blocks at the site. Only one tire was missing.

Another neighbor told her that when she heard about the incident, she noticed some of the pavers had been removed from the tree pit in front of another house - 53 #'s on 72nd St. There was some kind of red nylon bag left in the pit. Neighbors believe thieves may have spotted the pavers to use as "blocks" to hold up the vehicle and only had time to take one tire.

A friend of mine recently told me he spotted a vehicle on blocks in the vicinity of 51st Av but not sure if it was Winfield/Woodside or Elmhurst. Hope we'll hear more at our meeting on 11/5.
